Kendra holds a PhD in Biblical Studies from Brite Divinity School at TCU. Her academic interests include the ways that gender, empire, and power intersect in the New Testament, especially the depiction of male figures in the Gospels in light of Roman constructions of masculinity. She loves teaching and learning, and likes thinking critically with others about how the church, the academy, and contemporary culture intersect. Dr. Mohn is also committed to mentoring other leaders: she has served as an internship supervisor and mentor for many studying to become pastors, and is a trained coach with the ELCA with an active coaching practice (https://www.elcacoaching.org/).
In her spare time, Pastor Mohn enjoys reading, writing, photography, travel, and cheering for the TCU Horned Frogs and Iowa State Cyclones. She is married to Rev.
